And if this is looking towards forming a squad for the Olympics, I wouldn't be surprised of seeing more established guys like Lainez, Antuna, Alvarado, Montes and Charly next spring. Or even Omar Govea or one of the gringos like Efra, Ledesma, etc.

We need a leader in the defense. A stable mind. Someone who brings calm and tranquility in times of high stress.

Rafa Marquez was that. It was sad seeing Osorio put him in for games.. he was way beyond his time but it's almost like we were longing for that one last calming breath when he'd play. (sorry for making that sound depressing).

League of Nations squad will the same as this one. It’ll be the Olympic team.

Don't think so after they just announced they will be playing Argentina's U23 twice in October. I thought the same thing and everything was pointing towards this but the NT just announced this bombshell and I think it totally changes things.

Must be, and I apologize for my ignorance, I have been a bad fan and have not followed too closely on Liga MX (since my Rayados suck donkey D) but from that call up likely less than 25 games collectively between all of them, honestly Jona, Gudino, Angulo and Erick A. are the only ones that I recall seeing play with the NT. Surely others besides those 4 have played with la mayor.

But this is good IMO, I wish we had some experience in the backline, but hopefully not needed. It does look like an Olympic team.
